Shedd’s newest resident is an orphaned southern sea otter pup. She is growing fast and reaching new milestones every day. And did we mention that she’s adorable? She will stay behind the scenes until spring 2015 in our sea otter nursery as she develops, but you can check back here to follow her progress and get the latest updates!

It’s almost time to reveal the name of our rescued pup! Join our live onsite event through this Google Hangout on Friday, Dec. 12, at 8:20 a.m. CT. You’ll see live footage of Pup 681 and hear her name revealed live!
